  • What is a “telehealth”?

    Telehealth is a consultation service connecting patients with specialized doctors via video. The service is operated by Health at Hand, a UAE duly licensed telehealth provider.

    Nextcare provides this service via Telehealth on the Lumi app. This feature is accessible to some users, depending on their insurance policy benefits.

  • When can I use the telehealth service?

    A telehealth doctor can give you medical advice and recommend treatments for non-emergency medical conditions, such as cough, cold, sore throat, headache, eye infection, urinary infection, diarrhea, earache, sinus congestion, indigestion, rashes, etc.
    The service is available to all insured members on the Lumi app via Telehealth from Sunday to Friday: 7am – 11pm and Saturday from 9am to 6pm (GST).

  • Can I obtain a prescription after a telehealth service?

    Within the UAE, the telehealth doctor will determine the prescription you require. Right after a teleconsultation, you will receive your medical report on the Lumi app. You will be able to access the details of the prescription and an e-Prescription Number (e-RX). Pharmacies within your network will be able to retrieve it.

    Please note that prescription acceptance outside the UAE is subject to local regulations. Your policy’s terms and conditions apply to the prescriptions received and will only be covered if they are included in your benefits.

    If your policy requires that you have a consultation via a dedicated phone line, you will receive the report via SMS as a link that is password protected.

  • Guided Care: What does it mean for Nextcare insured members?

    If the policy includes the Guided Care service, the member will need to first have a consultation with a primary care physician via the Telehealth service on the Lumi mobile app or via a dedicated phone line. There is no co-pay for these consultations, and they are available 7 days a week. The doctor will, if required, issue a referral to a specialist.

    If the insured member forgets to contact the primary care physician before visiting the hospital/clinic, they will be asked by the hospital/clinic to complete the video consultation and obtain a referral before proceeding with a physical consultation.

    In case of a life-threatening emergency, insured members may proceed directly to the Emergency Department. There is no need to see a primary care physician or obtain a referral.

  • What can the virtual assistant do for me?

    Zoe can help you find your covered medical providers and facilities near you, connect you with a licensed doctor on the mobile app, follow up on submitted reimbursement claims and transfer to our agents, when required.
